ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

1t will be remembered tfat the ChRoN-
IcLE strongly suggested the feasibility
last summer of some of our rich and
e~nterprising citizen taking hold of Col.
Carter's mill and erecting it at Bozeman.
We did not succeed in inducing n one
to do 30. In the meanwhile Helena
capital has taken hold of a similar plant
at Red Bluff that was originally intend
ed for Dayey & Son, and in two weeks
we confidently expect to see the Red
Bluff ores easily and prof1tably worked,
and at no distant day the camp of Red
Bluff become one of the liveliest and
richest in the west. Only one drawback
can possibly retard its growth, and thai
is the absence of coal in that vicinity
but as teams can be procured, there need
be no grave a~pprehensions on that score.
However, how beneficial to the town OF
Bozeman it would have been, had the
mill been put up here, where coal is so
easily and so cheaply procured. 1t may
not yet be too late to procure a mill and
the right to use it in this county, as the
other, we understand, is in Madison; il
80, as a paying investment and as a SUBJ
stantlal aid to the upbuilding of the
town, the CHRONICLE hopes that no time
will be lost, after the practlcability of
the Red Bluff mill is demonstrated. in
getting one located in Bozeman.

Lang made himself liable to trouble
when he married Il couple near the head
of the lake without a license. After he
performed the ceremony he came to
Missoula for the required papers. It
seems the girl lacked a few days OF being
sweet sixteen, and All unkind act of the
legislature last August forbids the bans
under the circumstances. Judge Reeves
told Lang to go back home and marry
them over again when the girl should
have become of the proper age of con-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message is the longest
he ever wrote, SO long in fact that very
few newspapers will tackle it in its en-
tirety. Ere this issue of the CHRONICLE
reaches all of its readers the message
will have been made public. as it was, in
all probability, delivered to Congress
Yesterday Tuesday, as Monday was
taken up for the organization. All pre-
tended abstracts of the message publish
ed last week are simply speculation, as
the president allowed only Tour of his
trusted friends to see the message, and
placed it in the hands of the public
printer, informing him that if any OF
it. prematurely leaked out he would
hold him personally responsible. The
public printer in turn ave it to a few
selected printers and informed them
that if any part of the message was made
public he would discharge every last
one of them. 1t will not be revealed un
til after congrt IS has heard it.

OUR POSITION.

Last week the Ayant Courier contain
ed an article abiding to the unsavory
matter of Forschler & Mack.
As far as the uncalled.for illusions and
the editor of the
CHRONICLE are ...WIf
ing to say. The CHRONICLE never so far
forgets itself as to reply in kind to such
personalities.
But when the Courier undertakes to
assert that we will not sustain the posi-.
ton we have taken in this Forschler &
Mack case. it makes a mistake.
The bride Of a three-dollar-a. month
advertisement will have no effect with
us.
In short the Avant Courier may, if it
desires to do 80, uphold those who
knowingly and willingly sold diseased
meat but as for us we will protect, as
far as lays in our power, the public from
purchasing it.

With fifteen new Senators and one

be a reorganization OF the committees
that will be likely to have a very per-

seem strange to many that sagacious
Democratic leaders are really congratu.

party majority has been reduced from
about fifty to a bakers dozen. During
the last Congress, wheu the Democratic
majority was large, there was SO many
stray sheep from the fold, that it was
often difficult to muster the party
strength when sorely needed; but IN the
Fiftieth Congress, with a measer ma
jority for Democracy, all of our members
will realize their personal responsibility.

There was a train collision Tuesday
morning between Butte and Silver Bow.
The Anaconda ore train broke in two
near Rocker. The Helena passenger
train was coming a short distance be-
hind, but managed to stop before rum
ming into the ore train. Another train,
heavy freight, was also on the road from
the Butte depot. A man went back to
flag, but it had approached SO near it VIE
impossible to stop on the icy rails. The
Conductor rushed into the passenger car
and shouted to those en- board to jump
which they did. The freight locomo-
tive crushed half way through the pas
senger coach, raising it on top of the
locomotive. While trying to s%traighten
out matters another train came along
and wrecked the caboose of the first
freight train. Several trainmen were
slightly injured. Conductor Minty be-
ing the worst hurt, getting his nose
broked and bad bruises about the head
and shoulders. Hon. Sam Word, was

ence bears a pair of lustrous black eyes.
He exculpates the railroad company
from blame however and says that what
ever injury he sustained was from com

dition of the Yellowstone park. Here
is a property that we point out to
tourists as the national park, for which
last year an appropriation of a paltry
10000 was made for improvements
which urgently require, at the lowest
estimate, 100000 for roads alone. Under
existing circumstances visitors do not
see more than half of this park, and
principally for the reason that there are
no roads deserving such a title in the
whole of this vast domain, the greatest
natural curiosity in the world. "Expend-
ing money in improving the park would
attract thousands of visitors who are now

Der on one occasion the park association

Butte ahd BOzeman.

1t is now we'll understood that the
Northern Pacific will extend It's Helena
& Boulder Valley branch to Butte, and
those who ought to know say that it will
be in operation to this camp by the time
Montana Central is completed, if not
sooner, the work on its line between
Calvin's and Butte being generally light.
Before the branches is we'll in operation
arrangements will be made to complete
the loop by building the direct line from
Pipestone Pass to Gallatin. This road
will be of greater value to Butte than
any other OF the short lines in contem.
p%lation, AZ it will bring her nearer to
Eastern terminals than Helena now is,
shortening the distance as compared
with present routes by about l25 miles.
1t will open shorter and direct COM
municatlon with all the best coal de-
posts in Montana, at Timberline, Trail
Creek, Livingston and Rocky Fork, and
the consequent reduction in the cost of
coal and coke will be worth millions of
dollars annually to the industries of this
camp. This line will not stop in Butte,
but it will be pushed to a connection
with the main line at some point farther
West, and will become the main line
itself. 1t is quite natural to conclude that
the through passenger trains will be run
on the shortest and most direct line,
where there is the greatest passenger
traffic. and Butte will of course continue
to furnish her best outlets with the
heaviest passenger traffic, as she does in
freiehts. In building this short line the
Northern Pacific will simply rectify a
grave mistake, that has cost it many
millions of dollars and entailed great
loss to this camp. A few weeks ago The
Miner referred to the fact that the Ore
gon Transcontinental would devote its
newly acquired funds to the construc.
ton Of a system of branches, the most
important Of which was the branch from
Lewiston III Snake River, to Butte. This
road would give Butte direct connection
with Portland, making a saving of about
175 miles as compared with present
routes, and would open up a series of
mines.
